Chapter 126: Against The 'Punks' Alone

'So be it!'

Lee excused himself from the conversation and took steps towards the arena. The crowd and the contestants saw the handsome black haired man walking towards the arena. As whispers and hushed doubts arose, Lee reached the arena.

[Piss them all off, as usual. But make sure not to let go of the price.]

'Okay. But you know that I don't know the spells Fireball, Waterball and Windshots, right?'

[All it takes is a little creativity for you to have those skills and techniques.]

'Hmm.... So I am to weave spells and knit together martial techniques myself!'

[You catch up very quickly. Now go and make some enemies.]

Lee was glancing around as he was talking with D. His eyes skimmed over the faces of men and women around the arena. In an event where even the crowd can participate, the chances of winning the prize were never zero. As he glanced at the announcer, he gestured back at him to introduce himself.

"My name is Lee, and I am here for the reward. Fight me if you have pride in you, punks!"

The aura of peak stage Soul Condensation realm cultivator erupted and swept across the arena, and Lee turned his head in the direction. The cultivator sprang up and jumped from where he stood. As the man descended, his figure appeared above Lee, with his leg ready to shatter our MC's head.

Lee stepped forward calmly and the leg brushed past his hair and descended right behind him. Within a fraction of seconds, the cultivators, both male and female came homing in at Lee. An and her sisters did not move as Lee had told them not to intervene.

Like an acrobatic displaying spectacular and daring nimbleness, Lee simply was jumping all over the arena. The stage soon began to fill in with more and more people. So Lee decided to piss each one and use their punches to throw others out of the stage, and it worked like a charm. Whenever he evaded a hit or punch, it would land on someone who was either behind or beside Lee. The simultaneous usage of Foresight and the Mapade this endeavour simple as penetration!

[Lee, I think this is the best atmosphere to learn something new.]

'Enlighten me.'

[The EsGen is your only means to extract Essence. But if you have enough focus, you might be able to use it outside the storage.]

'Now is the perfect timing. Teach me how.'

[Like I said, concentrate. The EsGen might try to take people in, but you will have to resist the suction and extract the Essence. Make sure you have ample contact with people so that enough Essence can be generated. I leave the rest to you. Find it out yourself.]

Lee did a somersault as a spear and a sword tried to attack him from his sides. Right after Lee raised and straightened his body, a woman's palm hit his chest and made him take a few steps back stumbling. An immediate twirl made him regain his balance and saw the face of the woman.

Chu Hua grinned like a greedy animal as she saw him stumbling for a moment. The cutthroat atmosphere made her pounce on him like a hungry tiger, but Lee evaded and went past her like wind. The overall atmosphere turned more hostile as Typhoon Clan head joined the fight. Intense air currents swept through the arena and clashed to Lee's body. As he expected, his Air immunity began to develop at 3 points per second rate.

*slash*

Finally, a cut managed to land on Lee. The Iron Shadow Clan head successfully tore his sleeveless wear. The intense windmade everyone go on the defense and nobody noticed that the cut couldn't made a scratch on his skin. After a minute, the leaders panted as they withdrew, so that others may take this chance. But Lee was quicker.

His foot pressed to the obsidian platform and charged forward. Seeing him charging ahead, many swords and maces came down on him. A certain accumulated irritation erupted as Lee swung his arms. The collision of his forelimbs to the swords made them bent and break. The maces bounced back after hitting his body. It must be said that he was enduring all his pain for a while.

There were moments when Lee would lose it, and his fist would extend at the surrounding crowd. But the realisation that he must stay on defense, always resonated in his mind. D also reminded that these are all part of the training he must go through. He urged to focus not on the pain, but more on the flow of the surroundings. Lee restrained his anger and converted that erupting pressure to empower his resolve, and the result was amazing. Even the peak stage Emperor Immortal cultivator felt that his movements have become more organised and minimalistic, while achieving higher efficiency and composure.

Lee began to lessen his running around and slowly came to a halt at the center on the arena. His moves were incredibly organised and developed to evade innumerous strikes and punches. The hits no more touched him and were merely brushing past him body. Chu Hua thought that he is going into 'Battle trance', a rare state in which a person becomes one with his surroundings through his senses and movements.

"Use elemental attacks."

She shouted at the heads and leaders and everyone who heard her found the situation moving towards difficulty. They observed his being and was astonished to see not a single drop of sweat on his forehead or cheek. No signs of exhaustion were present, and they felt an imminent need to unleash their Pzy.

[Beware, Their Pzys are about to manifest. If you are lucky, you might acquire an immunity or two.]

Lee nodded and took guard as the cultivators took a distance from him. Slowly, their affinity souls began to materialise.

[We have Fire, Water, Ice, Wind and Rock around us. Make sure to benefit from them.]

'Can I use them for extracting Essence?'

'No. Once it is severed from its host, the soul disintegrates. You might have to take both the soul and the cultivator inside to extract Essence.]

Surrounded by elemental souls called Pzys, Lee scanned them with caution. His eyes did not detect the presence of any invisible Psy, as only a very few affinities can create such marvelous and overpowered souls. Lee did not feel much happiness as he can increase his immunity with his own affinities as he had them beforehand. The necessity to fight back and relieve stress was at the verge of flooding his mind.

But fate did not let his hand go. Drake Godson mentioned something to the announcer and he remembered something as he raised his brows in agreement. As all the sect leaders and clan elders were trying to harm Lee, the conscience of the announcer spoke up involuntarily.

"....."
